Finally got success after a couple more failed attempts. Borrowed the neighbors compressor, had 2 rachet straps on it, used my small compressor to blow air into openings. The bead finally moved after an application of Amsoil MP3, popped into place and it was :cheers:

Thanks for everyones help. I don't think the lighter fluid method would work to good in my neighborhood besides all I had was gasoline :lol2:
